SPRINGFIELD – A 22-year-old man, shot in the buttocks and elbow late Monday morning, is not cooperating with police.

Sgt. John M. Delaney said investigators believe the victim, who was not seriously injured, is not being truthful about his identity and they have taken his fingerprints to attempt to find out who he is.

Police were dispatched to St. James Avenue and Harvard Street for a reported shooting shortly after 11 a.m. When they got there, however, police could not find any evidence of a shooting.

The victim arranged a ride on his own to Mercy Medical Center and walked into the emergency department there shortly before 11:15 a.m., Delaney, aide to Police Commissioner William J. Fitchet, said. He was then transferred to Baystate Medical Center.

Police have yet to determine where the shooting occurred. It was not picked up by the ShotSpotter audio surveillance system and Delaney said it may have happened indoors.
